История
Genband была образована в 1999 году с названием General Bandwidth Полом Карью, Брендоном Миллсом, Роном Лутцем и Стивом Райхом в городе Остин, Техас. Компания приобрела первоначальное финансирование в размере $ 12 млн от Инвесторов и была частной с тех самых пор.
В 2004 году Чарльз Фогт присоединился к компании в качестве генерального директора и президента, и компания выросла с 80 человек до приблизительно 2200 человек к 2010 году. В марте 2006 года General Bandwidth изменила своё название на GENBAND, Inc и перенесла свою штаб-квартиру в город Плейно, Техас. GENBAND началось как интегратор, продающий медиа-шлюзы G6 но позднее появились подразделения, занимающиеся распространением решений IP-коммутации, IP-приложений, IMS и пограничных контроллеров сессий.
Компания расширила свой портфель продуктов через несколько приобретений. GENBAND выросла с $ 5 млн выручки в 2004 году до лидера сферы VoIP c рыночной долей $ 2,5 млрд к 2011 году, когда она была признана Inc. 5000 как самая быстрорастущая компания в течение пяти лет подряд. В 2010 году доход GENBAND был 750 миллионов долларов США.
В сентябре 2013 года компанией был приобретён популярный сервис мобильной IP-телефонии Fring.
